I would have probably considered that myself but I didn't know how to go about it and of course Christian ended up having DMD so I doubt his would have helped....

I have a question about vans. We are looking to have ours converted as our son will have his 1st powerchair this summer (he has been using a scooter that we...
We have a rear entry Dodge Grand Caravan and love ours. We needed room to seat more people, so thats why we went the way we did. our van will seat 7 including...
Susan, For a mini van, your options for a side or rear entry is going to be based more on what you can afford. If you do not need the floor dropped to get...
I guess I'm also curious about the ease of entry in places like parking lots as we live in suburbia. There is a lot to consider, as well as the cost (& I did...
Thats also one of the reasons we like the rear entry. We live in a small town, but there arent many accessible parking spaces. At our wal-mart(we only have one...
It can become a problem sometimes in parking lots, but you will always find a way to manage. How old is your son? Check around, there are place that can help...
Adele, I have a 2000 Chevy Express Conversion Van with a Bruno Chairlift that hooks onto the chair with a four point sling in the rear. I have a powerchair...
Tod, For us, the side entry works. I've decided, if I'm parked and there isn't room in the space to load Jason, I just back out of the space and load him...
It has a lot had to do with how you will use it. I had a rear entry that worked great at the house I lived at -- I would back into the drive, lower the ramp...
We have rear entry for the same reason. Where we live, wide parking spaces with extra room for side entry are extremely rare. The only problems we have are...
Another reason to consider rear entry vs. side entry is vehicle design. The side entry causes extra stress on suspension and alignment caused by the unequal...
I also have a side load van. Have pulled into the street several times and blocked traffic. I told out mayor that if anyone complained I would just send them...

I doubt many people on this list can read Portuguese. This message is refering to a 3-year old English girl named Madeleine McCann who disappeared on May 3,...
Hi I am looking for a new van and I was wondering has anyone with an electric wheelchair been able to use a minivan? Right now I have a huge monster of a van...
Donna, Mini vs. full size? You can get a power chair into a mini van. Without lowering the floor, you have about 43inch of head space at the door opening, so...
Mini vans do accommodate power wheelchair very well as a matter of fact. I would recommend getting one with a 10" lowered floor. Also you probably should be...
Hi Donna- I can just barely get my 16 yo son with DMD into our high top full size van with extended height doors. He has to recline his chair a bit and tip...
Becky, How high is your son? Measure from, the floor to the top of his head. What chair is he using? Does it have tilt or recline? Adele _____ From:...

Hi, everybody, Thanks for allowing me to join and nice to meet all of you! I was going to write and introduce myself a bit until I came across something a...
Another option is to approach the DME vendor and see if they can't lower the seating system. Some kinds of wheelchair seat cuhsions lend themselves to being...
We have found that the Quickie power chairs sit you much higher than the Invacare chairs. Adding the tilt option also adds height to the chair. You can go...
